Akeso Biopharma, Inc. (Akeso) is a biopharmaceutical company committed to bringing new, innovative therapies to patients by conducting rigorous clinical trials and obtaining marketing approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) and other regulatory authorities. ?Akeso conducts clinical trials to study investigational medicines in patients in which the studies are designed to obtain data on safety and efficacy that may be used to support approval of the product and subsequent wider accessibility to patients. Investigational medicines are drugs or biologics that have not been approved or cleared by regulatory authorities.

?

Expanded Access, which is sometimes known as “compassionate use”, is a potential pathway for a patient with an immediately life-threatening condition or serious disease or condition to gain access to an investigational therapy for treatment outside of clinical trials when no comparable or satisfactory alternative therapy options are available. ?The U.S. FDA advises that Expanded Access may be appropriate when all the following apply:

?

• Patient has a serious disease or condition, or whose life is immediately threatened by their disease or condition.
• There is no comparable or satisfactory alternative therapy to diagnose, monitor, or treat the disease or condition.
• Patient enrollment in a clinical trial is not possible.
• Potential patient benefit justifies the potential risks of treatment.
• Providing the investigational medical product will not interfere with investigational trials that could support a medical product’s development or marketing approval for the treatment indication

Akeso seeks to retain the ability to manufacture and supply investigational medicines in a fair and equitable manner and in a volume that assures adequate supply for ongoing clinical trials and development programs. Hence, at this time, Akeso is unable to provide its investigational medicines on an expanded access or right to try basis. ?For patients seeking access to our investigational medicines before they are approved by a regulatory authority, participation in one of Akeso’s clinical trials is the most appropriate way to access these investigational medicines. ?To learn more about available clinical trials by Akeso, please visit , or visit https://clinicaltrials.gov?and search by company, disease or medicine.

If you have additional questions, please speak with your physician or contact Akeso at expanded.access@akesobio.com.

Consistent with the 21st Century Cures Act, Akeso may revise this policy at any time.
